Chiapas Gov. Manuel Velasco Coello said that the Renewable Energy Research and Technological
Development Center (Cidter), which forms part of the Chiapas Polytechnic University, has a holistic vision and the infrastructure needed to conduct its research. The Cidter was built and equipped at a cost of 53 million pesos ($4 million).

According to Velasco Coello, the Cidter will provide a much-needed impulse for research into renewable energy, particularly solar, wind and other natural power sources that don’t harm the environment.

Velasco Coello said that that the Cidter will position Chiapas at the forefront of environmental research in Mexico’s southeast.

It will also strengthen the professional development of environmental scientists and engineers studying at Chiapas Polytechnic University, he added.

Chiapas Polytechnic University Rector Navor Francisco Ballinas Morales said that Cidter is the result of a vision of a modern Chiapas that would be known as a source of innovation in science and technology and a leader in sustainable development.
